This is the classiest class act in e-commerce. Lawson has a simply designed site and has personal, no-bs marketing emails. He also makes his own stuff so actually adds value in the form of some of the best outdoor gear on the market.

Hey, just a friendly reminder that it isn't a good idea to post your email address in an open forum. Bots crawl the web and will pick your email up to add it to spam lists. Try formatting it in a non-email looking format like user (at) Gmail (dot) com to prevent your email from being picked up as such or sticking to PM over Reddit to communicate your email address.

My experience with the osprey packs with the mesh over the curved frame has not been quite so drastic and I would not go so far as to say that there is almost no difference in temperature between my back and the rest of my body, but I also tend to sweat a lot while hiking.

Walking around the city, it is definitely a godsend and I stay nearly sweat free on my back. Hiking, my back will be soaked no matter what, but the mesh back definitely reduces the degree of soaking and allows it to dry out much faster when I am taking a break.

One last note about these packs: I do a lot of air travel and I tend to limit my baggage to only my backpack for any trips less than 2 weeks. The metal frame takes up some space when I jam it under the seat in front of me and does reduce my available storage space a bit because of how it is shaped.

I had this same question before and I was unable to find a satisfactory solution.

I hate having spoken directions, so my MO on iPhone was to turn on notifications only in google maps, then lock the phone and look when the screen lit up with the notification for a turn. At some point in the past there was a feature to have the phone screen dim between turns on android, but for some reason it has disappeared so our only options are to leave the phone screen on and pay attention to it while driving (uggh) or leave the voice turn by turn on and use that for a notification to pay attention (also uggh).

If you find some way to make this work similar to the way it worked on iPhone please, please let me know.

You got it. It took me a lot of google-fu to stumble upon this answer but I was overjoyed when I finally found it.

This should be the default behaviour of airplane mode IMO, since bluetooth headphones and in flight wifi are ubiquitous at this point and the FAA only requires that you not use cellular networks while in flight. To me, a toggle that makes your phone compliant with regulations while you are on an airplane = airplane mode, but oddly enough you will find people online that will vehemently tell you that not toggling off wifi and BT with the same switch is not airplane mode since airplane mode has historically toggled everything. Some people ¯\(ツ)/¯

If your desired behaviour is to just toggle the cell radio and leave other radios enabled, then you can modify airplane mode to toggle only certain radios. This is extremely useful for me since I have used bluetooth headphones for some time and often use wifi on flights, so it was slightly inconvenient to have to toggle wifi back on and a PITA to have to re-enable bluetooth and connect my headphones again when entering airplane mode.

You can change which radios airplane mode toggles using these instructions on stackexchange. You need adb installed to change these settings. Bluetooth and wifi radios can still be toggled off individually using their respective buttons.

Edit for posterity: This should work on all android devices, not just the pixel.

I am certain that there is no way to do this over Bluetooth. Bluetooth hubs like you are describing would be for a very specific and atypical use case, so there is just no market for it.

Your best bet would be to pipe music through a laptop with multiple airplay, Chromecast, etc devices with an application called airfoil. If you can figure out a way to stream to your laptop from phones, then through airfoil then you might be able to do this.

Coming from an iphone/ipad, I am a little disappointed in the behaviour of most of the android reddit apps. Behaviours that I miss coming from narwhal:

When I collapse a comment, that comment should collapse and be hidden. All of the android reddit clients that I have had can hide the children for a parent comment, but the parent comment remains visible. If I'm hiding a tree, it is because I have finished reading through that tree. I don't need to have the parent comment still visible since I'm done with it. This is most annoying with long parent comments.

Voting interface is awful. Everything seems to use press/long press to bring up an auxiliary menu (horrible flow and UX) or just have buttons sitting out there wasting space (better than poor flow, but still not ideal). Narwhal had an awesome gesture based way to vote/hide/open a menu for less-used actions.

Narwhal had a couple things that were not optimized to my liking, but overall it was an extremely polished app with an awesome flow.

As for what I use and why: I use narwhal on my ipad. If I'm forced to use my phone I use rif or boost, but I don't really like either of them.

Meh. I tried but as you can see there is no response. I don't know of any other subs with wireless headphones in particular, which I think is a subject that will have very specific information that doesn't apply to other headphones or other things that are wireless. Currently I'm not sure where to get information about which headphones are good and which are trash. There are multiple types of wireless headphones now. How can we easily differentiate between over the ears, behind the head, and true wireless without developing our own vernacular that is commonly understood among aficionados? Lots of information to be accumulated, but there is not a good platform for this specific niche yet.

My parents have TDS fiber in NH. Plenty of bandwidth for what you are describing. The iptv system runs on a separate wireless network so there won't be issues with bandwidth on your network unless you are in a very congested area. They also have the 100 down package and normally get about 85-90. The cable boxes are OK. The dvr is a single box that feeds recorded shows to the other, smaller boxes in the house. Interface is about as awful as you would expect from a cable company. My parents were disappointed coming from tivo. Honestly 100 down is probably overkill. I run some very bandwidth intensive stuff constantly in the background at my place and we are still able to get 2 streaming services to work concurrently with 65 down.

Yup. All in how you treat the cable. I have yet to break a cable. My wife will break any cable within 6 months without fail. Differences are I always pull the cable by the connector only, I never yank the device by the cable like a tether, and I'm conscious to never put the cable at a sharp angle coming out of the "strain relief".

$80 more at harbor freight for a Dual Action polisher and some compounding/polishing pads plus about 10 minutes on YouTube to see how to use it without damaging the paint will make this a several hour project instead of a several day project doing it by hand.

No I read both. I just don't think that it was supposed to be priced as a set after I drove around and had 5 out of 5 stores tell me that they are "never supposed to sell cookware as a set". Maybe a regional thing, but I doubt it.
